About Carol
Carol "Carrie" Horne is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 40 years of experience working with adults in Maine. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck after difficult experiences. Carrie aims to be a steady partner as clients work through panic, trauma, and life transitions.
Her method begins with listening and creating a warm, accepting space. Carrie uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas so clients can name what matters most to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and reduce panic symptoms.
Over four decades she has supported many people facing caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, guilt, and low self-esteem. Her work often addresses mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. She helps people build clear coping steps and practice skills between sessions.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Carrie encourages small, concrete changes that fit into daily life and builds on what already works. She helps clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track what improves.
Her aim is practical: to help people find greater calm, clearer direction, and stronger ways to handle stress. Carrie invites anyone who wants steady, experienced support to take the next step toward relief and clearer living.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflective guidance so people can explore what matters and discover their own solutions. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to recognize unhelpful thinking and practice different responses, which can reduce panic symptoms and anxiety over time.
Mindfulness therapy builds simple attention skills to lower reactivity and bring more calm into day-to-day moments. Short mindfulness practices are often used between sessions to help manage stress and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods in a collaborative way.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online session formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how sessions can be scheduled to suit daily routines.
